Our new canvas was finally finished a few weeks ago. This past weekend we took Splendid Mane out for an overnight trip to make sure everything was working before we head out. We love the new enclosure... it has effectively doubled our living space... now we have a boat with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dinning room and living room. Sounds spacious and it feels like it too! We were wishing we had this last year when we were traveling in Alaska... I guess we will just have to go back!Our plan is still to leave for our "round the island" trip at the beginning of June, probably June 3rd.

Keeping warm in Alaskan waters.

Kathy & Jerry.......love exploring the Gulf Islands and coastal waters of British Columbia on our sailboat. We also have become fond of exploring central Mexico during the winter months, and hanging out in the small town of Ajijic. We hope our photos and blogging will give you the chance to experience the same, and maybe inspire you to do some exploring yourself.

New crew member

We welcome aboard our newest crew.... Maggie. She joined our family this spring on March 23. She celebrated her first birthday on April 27th. She is very smart, so we are hopeful that she will learn her new duties quickly.

Our Boat

Splendid Mane is a 2002 Beneteau 393, 40 feet in lenght. We have radar, color chartplotter, 56 hp yanmar engine, autopilot, autostream feathering propeller, dingy with 6hp engine, dodger with full enclosure, two staterooms, two heads, fully equipped galley, and lots more extras. It is a safe, comfortable boat for two people but would be easy to sail singlehanded as well.
